UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIGE,

IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTER-PACKAGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,242., dated November 23, 1875; application filed February 5, 1875.

with conical cavity, tapering downward.

These forms are made of wood, are thoroughly cleansed, fitted tightly in case, packed in tiers, and each superposed one serving as a cover for the one beneath it. The butter, be-

ing placed print downward in the form, is covered bya cloth saturated in brine. These forms cost about one cent apiece, and receive a given weight of butter, which is never removed until it comes into the hands of the consumer. v

What I claim is As a new article of manufacture, a butterf'orm, H, constructed of a single block of wood, having conical cavity, in which the butter is packed, said forms being adapted to be packed together and transported, to be afterward sold, separately or collectively, substantially as shown and described.
